Abstract: The cooking device for a microwave oven comprises an assembly (1) including a micro-wave heatable cooking element (10) and two handles (20) made of a thermo-insulating material transparent to microwaves removably attached to opposite end sections of the cooking element (10). The cooking element (10) comprises a sheet metal plate (11) defining a cooking surface (4a) on a first side thereof and a heat absorbing surface (4b) on an opposite second side thereof, and an induction layer (12) made of a microwave-absorbing material laid on the heat absorbing surface (4b) of the sheet metal plate (11) in thermal contact therewith. The sheet metal plate (11) has a smooth continuous perimetral edge (13) with no vertexes and a shaped perimetral region (14) adjacent to the perimetral edge (13). The shaped perimetral region (14) is bent, preferably more than 180 degrees, towards one side of the sheet metal plate (11).
